A Lumberton man was indicted on a felony charge after his renter - a mother of a young boy - learned he was a registered sex offender, authorities said.

Daniel Jack Hughes, 53, was indicted on the third-degree felony charge of indecency with a child by exposure.

The woman discovered that Hughes, whom she was renting her room from, was a registered sex offender and asked her 10-year-old son if the man had ever done anything to him sexually, according to a probable cause statement. The child said that twice he had been in the same room with Hughes, who began watching pornography and masturbating, according to court reports.
